More about this in Four Corners
A broken garage door torsion spring makes itself known with one loud bang, usually first thing in the morning or late at night when the house is quiet. After that the door either sits dead or the opener strains and stalls trying to lift it alone. This page is one part of a larger guide to garage door repair service in Four Corners.
Call (346) 220-4724 and leave the opener button alone until someone's looked at it.
What a broken garage door torsion spring sounds like
The bang is loud enough that most people assume something fell or a car hit the house. It's actually the spring's coiled tension releasing all at once, which is also why the door goes from working fine to completely dead in that one instant.
Why the opener can't lift a door with a broken spring
The spring carries the door's full weight — often well over two hundred pounds on a standard two-car door. The opener was only ever designed to guide a door the spring has already balanced, not to lift it from scratch.
Checking for a second garage door spring about to go
On a two-car door with paired springs, a broken one almost always means the other is carrying the same age and cycle count. It gets checked and usually replaced at the same visit. The write-up on Four Corners broken garage door spring help covers a fault that often gets mistaken for this one.
Broken garage door torsion springs in a neighborhood built in one window
Residential development in Four Corners began in the late 1980s, and the population grew 319.2% between 2000 and 2010, from 2,954 residents to 12,382. Springs installed across that tight building window are reaching the end of their rated cycle life on a similar schedule, which is why broken garage door torsion spring calls tend to cluster by build year rather than spread evenly across the neighborhood.
A broken garage door spring in a fully built-out community
The 2020 census counted 3,481 housing units in Four Corners, a community that's been largely built out for years rather than still under construction. A high share of those original spring sets are old enough now that a first break is exactly what's expected.
